Garden sofa

Again we have spent money on something. I have for some time now wanted a more comfortable way of enjoying our garden but have not been sure of what I wanted. The perfect scenario would be something that would enable me to work with a laptop so that when I work from home, I would also be able to enjoy some fresh air when the weather permits it. In addition, I am not comfortable sitting straight, and when I am watching a movie, I prefer to do it lying halfway down or something like that.

To my big surprise, I noticed a garden sofa for a reasonable price in a shop nearby, so we went there Tuesday to take a closer look at it. We sat comfortably in it, and it was big enough for me to be sitting with my legs up and a laptop, so we decided to order it. Before we went to the store we had (of course) looked around on the Internet. There are a lot of different types of garden sofas - but unfortunately, they are also very expensive. One other advantage of the sofa we chose, is that it is modular, which means that it can be expanded later on (if the store still sells it). The sofa was delivered Friday, and we ‘assembled’ it. The only thing missing now is warm weather for us to test it properly.

Robot family expanded

Now my colleagues at work once again have something to talk about. They already think that we are a bit crazy because we own both a vacuum cleaning robot and a lawnmower robot. The newest addition to the family is a floor washing robot. A lot of people glance furtively at us when we say that we have James to vacuum, Antonio to mow the lawn, and now Carlos to wash the floor, but we think it is great.

It gives a kind of freedom when we make James vacuum while we dust or wipe the foot panels in the entire house. And no one is grumpy when we get home from work and the lawn needs to be mown. We just put Antonio to work. Of course, it would be faster to do it ourselves but it is very difficult to be at two places at the same time. So we are just happy that we have helping hands nearby.
